Governance

The International Tourism Partnership is a part of Business in the Community (BITC), the Prince's Responsible Business Network. BITC works with its member companies to create healthy communities with successful businesses at their heart.

Although part of BITC, ITP has its own ITP Board, Executive Committee and Advisory Panel:

ITP Board

The ITP Board comprises of member company representatives at CEO or C-suite
level. The chair is drawn from and elected by the members of the ITP Board for a
renewable two year term. In an advisory capacity, it provides strategic and operational
guidance to the ITP Team to further the mission of ITP, with members acting
as ITP ambassadors with key stakeholder groups. The ITP Director, Madhu Rajesh, is a
permanent member of the ITP Board and reports on ITP activities. The ITP Board
meets annually.

ITP Executive Committee

ITP’s Executive Committee is the more active and operational part of the organisation.
Also drawn from ITP members, the committee meets twice a year for collaborative and
action-orientated debate and discussion. It is the Executive Committee that, through
consensus, guides the activities and programmes of ITP. The Chair of the Executive
Committee sits on the ITP Board in an intermediary capacity between the
Board and Committee.

ITP Working Groups

ITP has four practical Working Groups consisting of member CR representatives who collaborate across our four critical issues. The Working Groups meet regularly throughout the year, either in person or via virtual conferencing to share best practice, to workshop solutions and to learn from
each other, taking the solutions back to their own companies. They help drive the projects and programmes that ITP prioritises, and help the organisation remain resourceful and relevant for the wider membership.

The four Working Groups are:
the Water Working Group; the Carbon Working Group; the Youth Employment Working Group and the Human Rights Working Group.

ITP Advisory Panel

The Advisory Panel is an international group of leaders in hospitality management,
sustainable tourism, research, education and training. The Panel has been established to
strengthen the relationship between the hotel, travel, tourism industry and education and
research. The aim is to work with leading academics and authorities in sharing, documenting
and communicating best practices to the leaders and future leaders of the hotel, travel
and tourism industry.
